I took a peek at a post I did four years ago regarding The Girl from UNCLE.  The show was a bomb, and yet we revere the two characters that originated there.
What are you thoughts? Certainly fan fiction has made April Dancer a much more interesting person than the show gave us, and hers and Mark Slate's interaction with Solo and Kuryakin is a given, showing up often.
The post is HERE
Chime in on the show that made us all cry uncle.

I've never actually seen GfU. I'm half tempted to ick up the DVD, but I keep being put off.

It's not worth spending the money as it was pretty bad. I haven't been able to make it through the first few episodes. But what I saw of her was that she was more of a damsel in distress more often than not. It seems they portrayed her as eye candy, than a competent agent.

I have a morbid curiosity to see just how bad it is, but I'll continue to resist, LOL

Marian sent me a disc and it was amazing just how awful the show is. All of the nonsensical shows of that period of time certainly helped to create some really bad television.

I've made a promise to myself that I won't go near it unless the DVDs are less than £5.

I think we should do a share, just mail a disc to someone who's interested. It's cheaper than buying it.

Postage to the UK probably isn't worth it :-)

HA! Morbid is a good choice of words cuz. Did you check to see if any episodes are on You Tube?

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

There are some short clips, but no full episodes.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

That should tell you something. lol!

I’ve only seen Mother Muffin, which I recall as cringey, and Galatea, which I like. I’ve never seen a GFU episode with Mark and April together. April was a better character in the Birds of a Feather novel, a serious, competent agent. I think of that book when I write her.

Maybe we could circulate what we have so everyone has an opportunity to see some of the show. Sort of like a progressive dinner ;)

The DVD's I sent you would only work here, not in the UK. Different region for DVD's. I completely forgot I sent you the GFU DVD's.
